The plane, jet #6, came down in a grassy area just east of Powers Boulevard near Fontaine Boulevard. Jeff Bohn with the Air Force public affairs office said the pilot ejected south of the crash location. The incident happened immediately after the Air Force Academy show, as the planes were making their final approach to the airport.

The Air Force’s Air Combat Command tweeted that the pilot ejected safely and is walking around unhurt. The Thunderbirds squadron is a unit of the Air Combat Command.

No one on the ground was hurt, and there is no hazard to the public.

The Air Force is not releasing the pilot’s name until the family can be notified of the crash.

Powers Boulevard is closed between Fontaine Boulevard and Bradley Road. Hazardous materials mitigation crews from Peterson Air Force Base are on the scene.

The Thunderbirds had just finished a performance at the Air Force Academy’s graduation ceremony. President Barack Obama, who was the commencement speaker at the ceremony, met with the pilot after the crash and thanked him for his service, according to the Thunderbirds’ commander.
